WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle losses, misc losses and hops absorption in equipment profile, OR set batch target to 'kettle' and do a full wort boil. See batch target FAQ.

Notes

Assuming Breiss Rye LME is 20% Rye malt, resulting rye content is ~ 7%.

Add 1.5 lbs Clover Honey at "flame out".

Hop quantities based on some leftovers, could use full 1 oz. Magnum and 0.5 oz. EKG.

This is a rich, malty "amber" and could be called a brown ale if you prefer.
